Hi. I've not found any references for this and would appreciate some help.
With what I've tried so far, I don't get errors BUT I don't get output
either!
My xml source (created using an xml authoring tool) contains the following:
<tools_materials>
<table><tgroup cols="2">
<?PubTbl tgroup dispwid="6.78in"?>
<colspec colname="col1" colwidth="1.26*"/><colspec colname="col2"
colwidth="0.74*"/>
<tbody><row><entry>Tool/Material</entry>
<entry>Part Number</entry></row>
<row><entry>Operations Manual</entry><entry>092022-001</entry>
</row><row><entry>Machine Management System</entry>
<entry>10-MS30-1000-021</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table>
</tools_materials>
In my stylesheet, I need to create parent/child elements from the table
content (excluding row 1), ex:
Column 1 = <tool_mat>Operations Manual
Column 2 = <tool_partno>092022-001</tool_partno>
</tool_mat>
I then need to use those newly created elements in an html table. I have the
following xsl (the first template is just my feeble attempt):
<xsl:template match="tools_materials/table"> <!-- just trying to get the
first element -->
<xsl:for-each select="row[position() != 1]">
<xsl:element name="tool_mat">
<xsl:value-of
select="normalize-space(cell[1])"/></xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tools_materials">
<table border="1" width="100%" cellpadding="4">
<tr bgcolor="orange" valign="middle">
<th colspan="3" align="left">
<h3>TOOLS AND MATERIALS</h3>
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<b>Tool/Material</b>
</td>
<td align="center">
<b>Jabil Part No.</b>
</td>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="tools_materials/table"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="tool_mat"/>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tool_mat">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="60%">
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top">
<xsl:number level="single" format="1. "
count="tool_mat" /> 
</td>
<td align="left" valign="top">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="40%">
<xsl:apply-templates select="tool_partno"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tool_partno">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="text()">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>NA</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:apply-templates select="tool_partno"/>
</xsl:template>
